Deccan Chronicle  

Nellore: India’s space agency has said that three science missions are in the pipeline — a mission to the planet Venus, a twin-satellite experiment and a joint science mission with France. An unmanned launch is the first major step before the Big Daddy of them all: Gaganyaan, to launch Indian astronauts to space on an Indian rocket from an Indian spaceport. In his New Year message to the Isro workforce, Dr Sivan said the immediate task this year is the launch of two Earth observation satellites, one aboard the workhorse Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle and the other on the first flight of the Small Satellite Launch Vehicle.
